Health Tips
Small habits, fresher plates
A few simple, practical tips to get more out of the fruit, vegetables and meat you bring home — no fads, just fresh food handled well.
Everyday guidance
Six habits worth keeping
Eat the rainbow
Different coloured fruit and veg carry different vitamins — mix peppers, greens, grapes and citrus through the week.
Store leafy greens right
Wrap chomolia and spinach loosely and refrigerate; use within a few days for the best nutrition and taste.
Balance protein sources
Pair fresh vegetables with lean meat from 8020 Meat Supplies for a fuller, balanced plate.
Ginger & garlic, daily allies
Both are easy to add to everyday cooking and are known kitchen staples for immune support.
Hydrate consistently
Keep water on hand throughout the day — small, regular amounts work better than one big glass.
Buy only what you'll use
Smaller, more frequent orders keep produce fresher than one large shop left to sit.
Building a balanced plate
Half veg, a quarter protein, a quarter grain
A simple ratio worth keeping in mind at most meals: fill half the plate with vegetables and fruit, a quarter with a protein like meat, and the rest with a grain or starch.
Storage basics
Keep it fresh for longer
Keep root veg cool & dry
Onions, garlic and butternut last longest in a cool, dark, well-ventilated spot — not the fridge.
Refrigerate leafy greens & berries
Spinach, chomolia and grapes stay fresher longer with consistent refrigeration.
Keep meat properly chilled
Fresh meat from 8020 Meat Supplies should go straight into the fridge or freezer on arrival.
